  1. Management Science 461 Lecture 7 – Routing (TSP) October 28, 2008

  2. Facility Location Models • Assumes • Shipments are not combined • Each truck serves one client at a time • Shortest path between facility and client • Can we relax this assumption? • Combine shipments • Respect truck capacity • Respect trip time limit

  3. Problem Description • Given a set of nodes and a cost metric (distance matrix, network, time network, etc) • Find a route of minimum total length that visits each node exactly once • This is called the Travelling Salesman Problem. Sounds easy….

  4. Applications • Business: delivery routes, facility layout • Manufacturing: Job scheduling, job execution order, robotic function ordering • State of art: Concordehttp://www.tsp.gatech.edu/concorde.html • Largest TSP solved: 49 in 1954; 532 in 1987; 7,397 in 1994; 24,978 in 2004 (took 8 years of computation time)

  5. Modelling TSP Minimize total cost travelled, making sure each node is visited Have full distance matrix D for all O-D pairs Binary variable Xij is 1 if node j visited after node i in the tour Constraint: ensure all cities visited.

  6. Formulation

  7. Formulation 2 3 1 4 6 5 Problem – Nothing prohibits a subtour Need one constraint for every possible tour, which is 2N-1

  8. Heuristics for the TSP • Trade-off between finding good solutions and time spent coding • Simple heuristics in this class: • Construction Heuristics: Nearest Neighbor, Nearest Insertion, Cheapest Insertion, Farthest Insertion • Improvement Heuristics: 2-opt and k-opt • Others – See Concorde

  9. Nearest Neighbor (NN) • Start with a random node n • Find the nearest node to n not already selected • Select the node, travel there • Repeat until all nodes selected; reconnect to n

  14. Nearest Insertion (NI) • Choose a starting node • Choose a node to enter the path by considering minimum distance • Consider where on the tour is the least-cost location for adding the node • Repeat until all nodes are part of the tour.

  20. 2-opt Heuristic • Start with a completed tour • Repeat until no improvements possible: • Repeat for all pairs of links on the tour: • Consider deleting the pair and reconstructing a valid tour • Keep the modification that most improves tour length

  21. 2-Opt Heuristic k k j j Before After:alternate links part of path reversed j+1 j+1 k+1 k+1 Repeat for all pairs of links until no improvement possible
